Why I Lost Faith in Kagi https://d-shoot.net/kagi.html #Kagi #AI #AIHype

Took a look at Kagi yesterday when I saw a post about Kagi's new translate tool.

Between Kagi's search functionality, news aggregator, their smart and intentional approach to using AI (on demand only, not pushed down people's throats), and the ability to refine and control search contexts... I'm sold. I think $10/month is a great bargain.

It's early days yet, but I'm really impressed. I feel like a customer again and not a product to be monetized.

So I never really looked into it, but I guess Neocities is like... an indy place where people can post their own stuffs?

Anyway, it looks like Bing is blocking them from showing up in the search results. From what they're implying (neo), it looks like Bing is giving them one of those infuriating non-answers corpos love to hand out these days.

You know...

1) We confirm that your account is banned / you are banned

2) We will not reverse the ban.

3) We will not tell you why we did it.

4) But trust us, it was because 'policy violation.'

I've run into this sometimes too, like... I use a VPN and I've got myself banned from some shopping sites for ...you know, like... buying things and paying for them consistently.

Anyway I think I had a point, I dunno... I need more coffee. OH. Right. If you're using a Bing based search then you might be getting filtered results or something. So maybe look at other searches?

I use Kagi, but I bet a lot of people have recommends. Post in the comments (and if you know, tell us who they use to search!)

Thanks to @literalgrill for the head's up on Bing's trash behavior.

Kagi in the last six months

For those who follow along with my ramblings, you may recall my relationship with the #Kagi search engine.

I'm six-months in and I thought I'd consider how much it's costing me.

@Vivaldi
Is there a good alternative to #kagi?

(No, #Kägi isn't 😂.)

#Kagi I hope that someday they will make a translation app that surpasses DeepL, but that is not only available on the Play Store!

👀 Is there a usable and private #SearchEngine which has some kind of filter or at least some feature to tackle #AI crap content flooding the net? Can be a paid service.

I am SO SICK of all search results with at least the half of the sites being #SEO caused AI shit sites only existing to generate income by featuring ads. 😮‍💨

I know about #MetaGer and #Kagi but both don't really seem to fit the bill... 🤔

So okay, I had to use DuckDuckGo bc I forgot to pay for Kagi and OMG tbh I'm so spoiled w Kagi.

DuckDuckGo is just... not on its level.

I decided my first post on this server should be my @ente Privacy Pack!

Two things are missing:
1) I use @elementary but that's not an available option; I'll open a PR for it soon
2) my phone (Mudita Kompakt) uses a custom OS made specifically for the device

You can make your pack here https://privacypack.org/create

Intéressant ça, l'extension Kagi traduction s'intègre directement dans Phanpy (il remplace le bouton de traduction de base propose par Phanpy)

I like small windows, so I made a compact style sheet for @kagihq

Results vary by query, but it's more effective when you have widgets.

Kagi is the website that I use the most, so it makes a huge difference in my day to day how many results I can see.

I might be mandela effecting this, but I thought there used to be a "cozy" option.

#css #kagi #userstyles

New custom dark theme css for Kagi.

I ported my Mastadon Capy UI over.

Will be porting a small change back to the mastodon one later.
